This powerful page by @Belle ! Profound.

Definitely not. Chocolate or Caramel?

I came to post my prayer but see that it is already answered!! I'm really thankful for that for you!! :sunnyeyes: :D :D :woohoo:

Thanks, Anne Marie!

Such a great Nature loving page!!

What a charming place. The layering in this page is well done. Love the pop of color from the flowers.

I was inspired by this page by lm44west . I like all the black and white details surrounding the focal image. I immediately thought of stitching/threads when I saw it. So here is my page. Lol.

I LOVE all the layers here!!! VERY well done!

Thanks for the S.O. I enjoyed the challenge and making this page.

THANK YOU! I do think it is greatly due to the blending. Blending modes change colors drastically and I use them often. I am blessed that the page impacted you.

Thanks, Cheryl. I enjoyed doing this one. I have been re-learning to practice the Presence of God throughout the day. He IS life. Focusing on that is truly free-ing.

I see the joy shining forth from your heart and beaming on your face. What a wonderful blessing you were given in Chuck! The tear- a tear for every moment of love shared. The strong contrast on the photo is eye arresting. :hug3:

"I breathe out the need for control; set my sight on You and ALL that You are. There is NO lack, NOTHING that escapes Your grasp. There's nothing You don't see; nothing I need to hide from You. I breathe You in. I can TRUST You with my heart. I breathe in Joy. I breathe in Shalom."

Ahhhh!!! I thought I recognized those phrases!! Love the truth and sentiments. The soft colors are a great backdrop tor the rose.

This page is elegant and subtle. Very calm.

Beautiful page, Chris!:sunnyeyes: I don't do "mantras" but I do have things/thoughts that I focus upon so :) I explored those. :D I got the eye in there too, LOL

Oh WOW! The colors!!! The shadows, the photos- is that YOU??!! :heartpumpred:

I love these too!!!! I used to make them when I was designing. Yours are inspiring!!

SO CREATIVE!! The photos inside the lenses are particularly genius. What a terrific piece of art!

Wow. Where are you? I feel for you with the heat. We just finished our summer. This year it was weird though- REALLY hot in June, July but milder (a bit) in August. Normally you can't spend time outdoors late June-early September. TOO stinking hot and frankly not safe. Heat indices above 110f...
